Chapter 313 (1/2)
313 Please grant me death, Your Majesty (3)
I understand. Duke Wei’s meaning is that if the Emperor relinquishes his imperial decree on me and asks me for help in the future, I’ll feign death and refuse to accept it. I’ll coax Emperor Yuan jing to give me the title of nobility first.
Then, he could leave with the excuse that he was not capable enough. At most, he would be punished and earn a noble title for nothing.
Lord Wei was really … [ full of wisdom (old silver coin) ]
“The Crown Prince is the blood brother of Lin an.” Xu Qi ‘an suddenly thought of the charming and affectionate little fish that he had raised.
The little queen of the nightclub must be sad and helpless right now.
“You and the princess of Lin an, there are no disputes right?” Wei Yuan squinted his eyes and examined him.
“No, no, I didn’t,” Xu Qi ‘an quickly shook his head.
Wei Yuan nodded in relief.
……..
The next day, in the Royal study.
“The three-day deadline is over. Your reply to me is” the case is complicated and has many suspicious points. Please give me a few more days “?”
Emperor Yuan jing threw several memorials at the three ministers.
The memorials submitted by the Supreme Court’s Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice, and Wei Yuan were surprisingly consistent. It was as if they were copying each other’s homework, and the answers they copied were wrong.
Emperor Yuan jing was so angry that he slammed the table.
“Your Majesty, there are many suspicious points in this case,” the Minister of Justice said guiltily.”I’ve already done my best.” Your Majesty, please give us a few more days.”
“I’m not capable enough. Please retire and return to my hometown,” the official said.
“You guys …” Emperor Yuan jing waved his hand and swept the memorials, brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table to the ground. He was so angry that he trembled.
“I’m going to kill you.”
The three ministers immediately knelt down and shouted, “”My death is not to be regretted. Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body.”
Did they go through their lines?
Emperor Yuan jing was furious.
The ministers on both sides lowered their heads and the officials who always liked to argue with Wei Yuan fell silent.
Of course, this case still had to be dealt with, but the opinions of all parties had not yet been unified. The crown prince’s side was thinking about how to help the Crown Prince get away with the crime.
The other factions were thinking about who would be the future Crown Prince if the Crown Prince was abolished.
They all had different thoughts, but everyone agreed that they should delay the matter. Consort Fu’s death wasn’t important. What was important was the dispute over the country’s Foundation that was involved in this case.
It would be a bloodbath no less than the capital’s.
Each party needed to spend time to think, pick sides, and make arrangements.
In such a situation where the Imperial court had the same goal, even Emperor Yuan jing could only be powerless and furious, unless he didn’t want the truth and abolished the Crown Prince on the spot … But it would most likely be rejected by the cabinet.
“Your Majesty, please calm down. I have something to report.” Chief advisor Wang stepped out and briefly mentioned Consort Fu’s case,
“According to what I know, Xu Qi ‘an, the watchman of the Yamen, did not die in the line of duty. With his strange resurrection yesterday, Your Majesty, please withdraw the matter of the title of nobility.”
In the Imperial study, the ministers were whispering.
That copper Gong surnamed Xu is still alive? The chief of the Supreme Court and the Minister of Justice had complicated feelings.
Emperor Yuan jing was stunned for a moment. He suppressed his anger and looked at Wei Yuan, “”Wei Qing, is the Prime Minister’s words true?”
“It is indeed true.” Wei Yuan bowed.
Immediately, one of them stepped out and said loudly, “”Zhang xingying lied about the case and lied to Your Majesty. Please punish him, Your Majesty.”
Emperor Yuan jing ignored him and continued to ask, “”Why so?”
